Abstract

Atomic oven generating controllable atomic beam flux plays a fundamental role in quantum gas experiments. Here, we report a new heater design that can heat up an high temperature atomic oven with fast thermal response. The new heater shows a heating rate improved by 7.65 times comparing to that of the conventional resistive heater while the crucible temperature can heated up to 1200K. With this oven, we generated a collimated ytterbium beam with flux exceeding $10^{14} \text{ atoms/s}$ at 823 K. We believe that our design offers a promising solution for shortening experimental dead time and improve the experiment efficiency in cold atom researches.

A short response time atomic source for trapped ion experiments

T. G. Ballance, Joseph F. Goodwin, Robert C. Nichol +3 more

Ion traps are often loaded from atomic beams produced by resistively heated ovens. We demonstrate an atomic oven which has been designed for fast control of the atomic flux density and reproducible construction. We study the limiting time constants of the system and, in tests with 40Ca, show that we can reach the desired level of flux in 12 s, with no overshoot. Our results indicate that it may be possible to achieve an even faster response by applying an appropriate one-off heat treatment to the oven before it is used.

A compact and efficient strontium oven for laser-cooling experiments

M. Schioppo, N. Poli, M. Prevedelli +4 more

Here we describe a compact and efficient strontium oven well suited for laser-cooling experiments. Novel design solutions allowed us to produce a collimated strontium atomic beam with a flux of 1.0 × 10(13) s(-1) cm(-2) at the oven temperature of 450 °C, reached with an electrical power consumption of 36 W. The oven is based on a stainless-steel reservoir, filled with 6 g of metallic strontium, electrically heated in a vacuum environment by a tantalum wire threaded through an alumina multi-bore tube. The oven can be hosted in a standard DN40CF cube and has an estimated continuous operation lifetime of 10 years. This oven can be used for other alkali and alkaline earth metals with essentially no modifications.

Characterization of an Erbium A tomic Beam

Johannes Schindler

In this thesis we study and characterize an erbium atomic beam emerging from a high-temperature oven system. This is the first step towards the production of a quantum-degenerate gas of Er. Er is a rare-earth element and its quantum mechanical interaction properties are yet rather unexplored. Its exceptionally large magnetic moment of 7μB makes Er especially interesting, since it allows studies on the physics of dipolar quantum gases. In addition, Er shows an unusual electronic configuration and a complex energy level scheme, promising rich scattering properties and offering many possibilities for laser cooling. Since Er has a high melting point temperature of more than 1500 C, the oven system for the production of a thermal atomic beam requires specific engineering. This includes thermal shielding, heated apertures, special crucible materials as well as reliable controland security systems. We characterize the atomic beam emerging from the oven by absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence imaging on the strong 401 nm transition. Based on our measurements, we optimize the collimation setup and we find the ideal operation temperature to be T ≃ 1250 C with a corresponding atomic flux of 3× 1010 s−1 injected into the Zeeman slower.

Simple oven design for highly reactive metal beam applications

Luis Bañares, Ángel González Ureña

An oven design suitable for producing stable beams of highly reactive metals is reported. Its attraction is in its simplicity, low cost and versatility in molecular beam and atomic/molecular physics experiments involving highly reactive metals such as rubidium, caesium, etc. An application is described for the case of atomic caesium, where the metal is produced by the chemical reaction Ba(s)+CsCl(s) to BaCl(s)+Cs(v). One of the main advantages of the present design is the use of a thin-walled, stainless steel pipe, as crucible and heater simultaneously, which considerably simplifies its design. With respect to the experimental method, the simplicity in the loading, working and cleaning procedures compared with the use of pure metal should be noted.

A simple atomic beam oven with a metal thermal break

Chetan Vishwakarma, Jay Mangaonkar, Kushal Patel +3 more

We report the design and construction of a simple, easy to machine high temperature oven for generating an atomic beam in laser cooling experiments. This design eliminates the problem of thermal isolation of the oven region from the rest of the vacuum system without using a glass or ceramic thermal break. This design simplifies the construction and operation of high temperature ovens for elements having low vapor pressure. We demonstrate the functionality of such a source for strontium (Sr) atoms. We generate a high flux of Sr atoms for use in laser cooling and trapping experiments. The optimization of the design of the metal thermal break is done using a finite element analysis.

Atomic flux distribution from a low-divergent dark wall oven

Lakhi Sharma, Atish Roy, Subhasis Panja +1 more

Nearly collimated atomic beam is of interest for a variety of experiments. This article reports a simple way of modifying the atomic beam distribution using a dark wall oven and describes detailed study of outcoming atoms’ spatial distribution. A simple design is obtained by employing the fact that inhomogeneous thermal distribution along a capillary results due to its partial resistive heating. Based on this phenomenon, we have designed a dark wall oven consisting of a reservoir, collimator, and cold absorber at the exit end of atoms, where all three are fabricated out of a single stainless steel capillary. The nearly collimated spatial distribution of the atoms resulting due to the absorber eliminating the atoms diverging above a certain angle is modeled and experimentally verified. A divergence as minimum as 1.2(1)° corresponding to a half angle θ1/2 = 0.9(1)° is measured at an oven temperature of 250 °C that produces an atomic flux of about 8 × 109 atoms s−1. Total flux as estimated using our measured spatial distribution of atoms matches well with the numerically simulated values of it for the dark wall oven.
